Easy Ways to Earn a Free Starbucks Gift Card

Apps

For regular visitors to Starbucks, simply downloading the app and using it to pay for your daily coffee can really add up over time. You simply transfer money from your credit or debit card into the app, open the payment screen on your phone, and the barista scans your unique QR code to charge you. You simultaneously receive stars, which add up over time to be redeemed for FREE coffee! Sometimes, Starbucks also shares promotions with reward members, such as free pastries, drinks, and gift cards. Download the free app today and you’ll be one step closer to a free Starbucks gift card!

Ibotta

Ibotta is a popular app that doesn’t involve any special purchases or a great deal of effort but can lead to big payoffs. Through this free app, you simply take a photo of your grocery shopping receipt, and if you have purchased something that is currently offering a rebate through the app, you earn that money back. After you have reached a certain dollar amount in rebates, you can redeem that amount for a gift card, such as Starbucks! It only takes a few minutes to redeem your grocery receipts, and there is no limit to the number of gift cards you can earn.

Drop App

Drop is a nifty, set-it-and-forget-it type app which allows you to link your credit card to the app and get instantly rewarded for shopping at certain stores and websites.

This clever app rewards you not only for making purchases but for simply walking through the door of many retailers. The rewards earned through ShopKick, known as “Kicks”, start accumulating as the app detects that you have entered the store. From there, you can use the app to scan barcodes and complete tasks to earn more Kicks. Over time these Kicks accumulate and can be redeemed for gift cards and rewards for many stores, including Starbucks! It takes a little bit of time and effort, but when the payoff is free Starbucks, it’s well worth it!
